Fees Separate Restructuring In Budget Talks
Columbia opponents of Gov. Campbell's restructuring plan won again by splitting the reform from the next year's 3.7 billion budget. The House sought to merge 140 boards into 40 agencies with Campbell gaining direct control over 16. Sen. David Thomas said the move to divorce the bills ends a two-year push. The Senate's plan kept most control with boards, creating a new Commerce and Economic Development Dept and DSS director appointment by Campbell. The measure would take effect in July 1994, with negotiators still a possibility for changes. McConnell condemned giving the governor too much power while Rose, absent, criticized the unity of supporters.
